Healthcare information systems firm McKesson has launched a new line of disaster recovery services for healthcare IT systems.
McKesson's new tiered offering of disaster recovery services can be tailored to meet the needs of smaller to average-sized hospitals. Offered via a disaster recovery-as-a-service model, the firm's new services support most types of storage arrays, according to the vendor.
Customers can choose between Core or Plus levels of services. Core provides geo-redundant replication of an organization's critical data; if a disaster is declared, costs are incurred according to hourly calculations in a pay-as-you-go model, McKesson said.
With the Plus level of service, healthcare organizations also have the additional option of reserved resources, as well as more detailed terms and commitments related to service-level agreement values for recovery point objective and recovery time objective, according the firm.
